Is that a run-out? Roston Chase seems to be in but the umpire has gone upstairs to check. Good piece of fielding from Mitchell Marsh to get a direct hit in at the bowler's end but the re[plays show that Chase is well in. NOT OUT comes up on the big screen.

Matthew Wade makes no mistake and Bartlett, just like he did in the ODIs, picks up his maiden T20I wicket in the very first over.

Ouch, right on the grill of the helmet and Johnson Charles looks rattled. A quick bumper directed right at the face and Charles takes his eyes off the ball while looking to pull.

It will be Kyle Mayers to open the batting for West Indies alongside Johnson Charles. Xavier Bartlett has the new ball in hand will get proceedings underway with the ball here in his T20I debut. Let's go...

Australia (Playing XI) - David Warner, Mitchell Marsh (C), Aaron Hardie (In for Marcus Stoinis), Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Matthew Wade (WK), Xavier Bartlett (In for Josh Hazlewood & On Debut), Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson, Jason Behrendorff.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers (In place of Brandon King), Nicholas Pooran (WK), Rovman Powell (C), Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Roston Chase, Jason Holder.

TOSS - West Indies have won the toss and elected to BAT first.

West Indies, on the other hand, showed fight in both the games, but couldn't get over the line. The problem for them has been their bowling as they have conceded a lot of runs. Alzarri Joseph has been their standout bowler but will need more support from others. As we have seen over the years, they do have some strong power-hitters like Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, and skipper Rovman Powell, but the only thing missing from their game is they need to perform as a collective unit to have any chance of beating the Aussies. Will the Windies finish on a high? Or will the hosts complete the whitewash? We will find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.

Australia have been absolutely brilliant in both the games especially with the bat. They have scored well over 200 in both games which also includes a sensational hundred from Glenn Maxwell in the last game. They do pose a pretty dangerous batting line up and it is difficult to get away from them as someone or the other will get you eventually. Surprisingly Marcus Stoinis have done well with the bowl while Josh Hazlewood continues to be their most consistent frontline pacer across all formats of the game. 

Hello and a warm welcome folks! We are at the Optus Stadium in Burswood for the 3rd and final T20I between Australia and West Indies. This has been a good preparation for both sides with the T20 World Cup not too far away. The Aussies have already sealed the series and will be eying for the whitewash while the Windies will hope to end their tour on a positive note.

... MATCH DAY ...

West Indies tour to Australia has been a pretty long one and it has been a tour that has provided us with some fabulous memories as well in Tests and in the T20Is but the ODI series was pretty one-sided. It is now time for one last game on the tour as both teams gear up for the 3rd and final T20I to be played at the Perth Stadium in Perth. Australia have won the series 2-0 already but will be eyeing a whitewash just like in the ODI series whereas West Indies will be looking to end the tour on a high. The first two games of the T20I series saw both teams score more than 200 runs in every single innings and we witnessed some unreal hitting. The 2nd T20I in Adelaide was a remarkable one as Glenn Maxwell aka 'The Big Show' did in fact put on a big show as he scored his record-equalling fifth T20I century and played some unbelievable shots on the way too. David Warner looked good at the top once again but the thing the Aussies will be happy about would be Tim David consistently firing in the death overs, something that had gone missing in the past year or so. Spencer Johnson got a game in and the left-arm quick once again made his mark and he just continues to show that he can roll with the big boys. The hosts will look to tighten their bowling a bit as the pacers did go for plenty, especially Jason Behrendorff who isn't quite enjoying bowling at the death. West Indies on the other hand have been able to conjure up something of a comeback with the bat in the death overs but inconsistency at the top of the order and in the middle order cost them both games. The likes of Brandon King, Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford haven't been able to string two good performances in a row and most of the work has been left to the likes of skipper Rovman Powell and Andre Russell, both of whom did a fine job in the last game but they simply had a mountain to climb. The bowling has been patchy with Akeal Hosein simply not being able to weave his magic in the Powerplay but Alzarri Joseph did bowl a stellar spell in the last game and he looks like the only one who tries to improve every game and give it his all. The Windies need to bowl well as they have enough batting depth to score big but if they keep conceding well above 200 runs every time, even that muscle power won't be able to chase it down. Can West Indies end their tour Down-Under with a win? Or will Australia overpower them yet again? We shall find out.
